a gem of a stay
perfect location lovely staff
I found the location perfect. It met all my needs beautifully. the staff are lovely and genuinely care for their guests, wanting to help in every way possible. i also found the cooked vegetarian breakfast delicious each day, a lovely start to my mornings.
Parking proved a bit tricky during the weekend. The hotel was full, and nearby streets required permits.
